My &@#* double chin!

This past Friday a good friend got married. It was a sweet ceremony, very fitting of the two of them. Yay, A & J!

I went to the wedding with a mutual friend, as my boyfriend was out of town. Several other mutual friends were in attendance at the wedding, and of course we were all taking pictures… Was just looking through some of them, and while I actually look pretty decent in most, ARGH! My freaking double chin! I try to be conscious of how I hold my head in photos — I can usually ward it off — but there are two or three otherwise very cute photos with my big honking chin ruining them!

So yeah, I’m feeling a little self-conscious this afternoon.

That aside, it’s been a pretty good day, in terms of both food and exercise. Just got back from the gym. I did 1.75 miles on the elliptical, on the hilly setting, in 25 minutes. Considering I often do just barely over 2 miles in 30-35 minutes on the non-hill setting, I feel pretty good about it. My week, while busy, is not as out of control as last, so I should be able to hit the gym every day except possibly Wednesday — yay!

Much thanks for everyone’s continued support, btw. I really appreciate all the booster notes, messages, blog comments, etc. Y’all are inspiring — and just plain nice!

    One thing I hate most about the weight I’ve gained back is how big my face looks! I’m right there with you working on getting rid of it!

    Oh yeah..I can so relate..I hated my double chin and that my face will so big and round! However, over time and weight loss it is going bye bye. So, you just hang in there–and soon you can be admiring that pretty face with No double chin!!

    well done on the exercise!
    I hear you with the photos. I always try and hold my head a certain way but sometimes when I find myself in the background of photos I think: “ah my double chin!!”!
    keep up the good work :)

    i’m reminded of a photo shoot my mom, sister and me were doing in reno - just being silly. and now that there are digital photos we can review and delete if we don’t like them. thanks goodness! my sister saw one of her neck hanging down as she turned sideways toward my mom - both hamming it up. she didn’t like the way her neck hung so she had my mom hold it up for her using her hand around the back of the neck and under the hair so i could take another shot. we laughed so hard we cried. we’ll both be glad when ours are gone too. thanks for the memory - we are going back to reno thursday and more photos…LOL
